U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Matthew Spittler and Senior Airman Tyler Trocano, joint terminal attack controllers (JTACs), coordinate with leaders of 2nd Platoon, C Troop, 1st Battalion, 126th Cavalry Regiment, during a combined arms live fire exercise at the air-to-ground range on Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center, Aug. 11, 2014. JTACs embed with ground forces to provide real-time air support to small reconnaissance surveillance teams. "We often find ourselves forward of friendly lines with little to no support," said Sgt. 1st Class Steven C. Sparks, 2nd Platoon sergeant. "Aircraft are valuable to us and, as subject matter experts we like to have the JTACs around with us." (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
